The ed tion of the collected politi cal pamphlets of M. de Cormenin, who obtained considerable celebrity during the time of Lotlis Philippe, and at the commencement of the pre sent reign, under the pseudonym of “Timon,” contains the following cu rious comparison between the two Napoleons, I and III: “The nep! e.v ( o s not resemble the uncle, either physically or morally. The latter was abrupt to his auditors, and faci nated them by his eagle glance to such a point as to disturb and con fuse them. The other listens gra ciously, and is as phlegmatic as his uncle was impetuous. All those aroud the uncle colud read the dramas which were passing act by act in the hero’s brain. The nephew does not allow’ his intentions to be devided, and takes a pleasure in concealing his thoughts under his impassable features. The nephew would not have gained the great battle of Aus terlitz, would not have hurried like lightning from one point to another in the last campaign of France, and in the first of Italy would not have pronouced those memorable sayings become historical; at the pyramids, at Jena and at Fontainbleau would not with a strong hand, have method ically reorganised the municipalities of the conquered towns impoverished kingdoms, and gained fifty five vic tories in fifty-seven battles. But on the other hand, the uncle would not have planned the coup d' ctat of De cember, wdth impenetrable secrecy, a firmness of hand, and a vigor of reso» lution that have no parrallel in histo ry. The nephew may be reproached, like the uncle,- with more than one caprice of imagination ; like those of Strausburg, Boulogne, Sebastopol, China, Cochinchina and Mexico. But the blame is to be attributed less to a spirit of adventure than to the fault of the people, who should have pre f.erved their veto oter expeditions of that kind But what the uncle would pefhaps not have done the nephew proposed unasked to the station ; fcamely universal and secret suffrage, and a bill of imdemnity for his illegal act. And of all the Princes who have reigned over Franc \ he has, without excepting Henry IV., most loved the people and done the most for them \ and I regret but one thi ig, which is, that being born with the grave and patient spirit of a Wash ington, he did not prefer liberty to absolutism* and tie scarf of a decen ial President, open to election, to the hereditary scepter of an Emperor.” * An Important Revenue Decision — The Law Concerning Parents and Minor Children. —The Commissioner of Internal Revenue decides that when a minor is so emancipated as to cut off* his parent’s legal right to de mand and receive his child’s earn ings as his own, the parent should not be required to return t iem‘. He instructs that upon this point they should not adhere to the strict rule of evidence by which no contract of emancipation is presumed, and which ordinarily requires the evidence of an ex*press contract, but should give the law and the rules of evidence a liberal construction, and should presume that when a parent allows his minor child to retaian his wages and appropriate thirn to his own use, it is done in pur-'U mce of such an agreoment as binds the pa* rent and emancipates the child.

The first steam wagon that we have ! any authentic knowledge of, was uns intentionally started off* in the world one dark night in the year 1781. A man named Murdoch, of lledW h, in Cornwall, England, was experi menting with a machine of his own invention, when it took a notion to run off in the dtrkness along a lone ly lane where a clergyman had gone to have a quiet walk. The parson suddenly heard a most unearthly noise, and to his horror beheld ap proaching him, what appeared to lie something like the devil. He tried to run but his iegs wen* down, and so he cried for help. However, the good man’s fright was dispelled by the arrival of Murdoch in persuil of the runaway machine, who satisfac torily explained to him the mystery of the “Evil One” on earth. This reminds us of the countryman somewhere up the Hudson river when he saw the first steamboat passing, lie ran home and told his wife to come and look at the devil £oing to Albany on an old saw mill The Quarterly Review as late ns 1g23 took son e pains to show that steam wagons were an useless invert tion. It then said : “As to those tVho speculate on roadways generally throughout Eng land and superseding all the canals, all the wrgons, mails, and stage coaches, post chaises, and, in short, every other mode of conveyance, by land and by water, we deem them and their visionary schemes unwor thy of notice. Every particular ob ject must stand or fall by its own merits; and we are greatly mistaken if many Os those which are already announced will not, when weighed in the balance, l be found wanting. The gross exaggeration of the locomotive steam engine may delude for a while, but must end in the mortification of those concerned.’' And in the following 85 years, some 9,000 miles of railway at a ccs of $15,000,000, were constructed and put in operation in England. The first American railway of any great length, was from Charleston Bouth Carolina, to Augusta; Georgia —lB5 miles' —commenced in 1880, and finished at the cost of $1,326,615, in 1888. Meanwhile, (in 1830) the “Hudson and Mohawk Railway,” from Albany to Schenectady, was constructed and put in operation —and in October, 1831, it carried nearly TOO passengers a day. The first locomotke ever seen in America, was imported from Steph ensons engine factory at Newcastle upon-Tyne, in 1829, and exhibited as a great wonder to the people ol New York. — Rail Wag News. RAILROAD GUIDES. The New York Official Railway News says of the recent meeting of General Ticket Agents in that city : The proceedings were unusually harmonious, and very litt'e opposition was offered to the sweeping resolu tion derogatory to all railway guides , except Vernon’s. Mr. Vernon is a railroad man, and his official guide is now the on y publics t on of that class to be recognized in any manner by the majority of the members of the association. Mr. Thomas, the editor of Appletb’n’s Guide j- could not avert the impending doc'ra of his old estab lished institution. He circulated among the members nervously and freelj” while Mr. Vernon remained at his office in Philadelphia—but henceforth Appleton-is nowhere. Now, then, wc shall have an open fight. Aprleton is rich, and has in fluence to control “the trade.” The railways are powerful, and some $50,000 were subscribed on the spot to back up Vernon and carry on his j publication, with the promise of half a million more, if needs must be, to take him safely through.” During the month of March, 34,382 passengers were carried over the Lonisville and Nashville road and branches, of whom 1,941, went from Nashville to Louisville. The emigrants from Ireland to the United States, by way of Cork, is reported to be very active this spring, and, it is asserted, will be as in the famine year. In the first week , of April at least sixteen hundred j emigrants, of the agricultural class, embarked on the four steamers which called at Cork. The coercion act has given an impetus to the movement westward. ©gl* Harry Ayres', an English man, formeyly notorious as a pugilist, was foiitM dead ifa' a doorVfay, Boston, on Thursday night'.

Which way do they wind around the pole ? And does every hopvine wind the same way ? *\Vhy should they not wind promiscuously, sometimes turning one way, and some times the other, as it happens? How do they know which way they should turn in climbing? And has the read er seen a bean climbing up a pole? and can lie tell us which way around the pole it turns ? Is it the Same way with the hop? Why does the hop turn enc \tay, and the bean the other ? What causes the difference? And and >es every bean turn the same way ? And the morning glory, does it agree with the 1 op, or the bean t And is it always uniform like them ? Is there any twining plant which climbs up by turning promiscuously, sometimes one way, and sometimes the other ?

It has never seen its predecessors ; they perished the season before its birth. And why does the morning-glory open its eyes in the early morn, yet close them in slumber long before night? Who will crack these nuts and give lis the kernel of knowlcd they contain? —Tof Carthage in Jour, of Ag. New Milch Cows. —The spring is the time when a large portion of cows drop their Calves, and tha time, there fore, when special attention should be paid to them. Even when kept with excellent ertre through the win ter, when the time near pasturition arrives, difliiculties will occasionally arise that require both care and skill Sometimes the udder becomes great ly enlarged by a superabundance of milk, which, if not taken away, is qui‘e likely to break and destroy it, and greatly distress the cow. The popular belief is that no milk should be tuken away in such cases. But it is an erroneous one. At any ia‘e, the danger must be less than that of a broken udder. If the udder is hard, aud no milk can be drawn from it, it should be bathed in warm wat er, warm soapsuds, together with a great deal of gentle friction by the hand. If the milking, bathing and frieth n do not succeed, mb' the udder with a liniment made of sweet oil and ammonia, or simple lard, or fresh bu ter. In such cases the condition of the bowels must laxative. All cows should have entire liberty fora week or two previous to calving — su :h as an open dry shed, or pen twelve feet square iu the bain. Af ter dropping the calf the cow should have a drink of shorts and warm wat er once each day, for two or three days, in addition to her usual food. The New York Methodist Confer ence has disposed of the case of Rev. Horace Cooke, by permitting him to withdraw from the ministry, on the groun lof his “criminal unfitness’ to continue in the church. IBs late elopement with a young lady of his congregation is regarded as qualify ing him for the Radical Methodist ministry It would have been un christian like to expel him.
